A case that was too hot to handle? A fiery defence? Prosecution bringing up witnesses from behind a smokescreen?

"We hope that dispensing of justice will not severely be affected by this unfortunate event."
Above frase sais it all. This was planned.

Dispensing justice? Justice have long ago gone up in smoke.

I have a bad feeling about this - watch, now records relating to the son of satan aka Julius Enema, will have been destroyed....

lorna.sisusa - 2012-10-19 15:18

Wow, what a haphazardly-organised article.

jo.vankatwijk - 2012-10-19 16:09

I agree. Nothing of any substance.

Justin Mettew - 2012-10-19 16:40

Typical of the media.

michael.mathenjwa.1 - 2012-10-19 15:34

that means now malema is off the hook? no no no

flynn.govender - 2012-10-19 15:40

People think off different ways to lose dockets/case files - there was either a high profile case there this morning or a high profile case that was going to take place after the fire did the damage. Lost docket/case file means the case is thrown out of court - lucky for those criminals

What is the author reasons for including last paragraph in this story?
Now I understand what they mean by "trial by the media"

That remains to be seen. I've never heard of a 'back-up' docket. There's only one case docket. I've never heard of 'back-up' evidence. Let's see what transpires. In my opinion what we hear next is predictable.

"Expelled ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema appeared at the court on September 26 on a charge of money-laundering. He was released on bail and expected to return on November 30."
1+1=2

Uhm Rhino poachers and likely quite a few other important cases to come. The possibilities are numerous. I do not think this was anything other than arson, question is just WHO? Many will benefit, but some more than others.

Justin Mettew - 2012-10-19 16:42

How typical of the media, and the crowd follows (ashamed by 'some' South Africans).

sean.kedian - 2012-10-19 20:12

And suddenly Malemas problems disappear

Peter - 2012-10-20 07:38

Is small boy Julius trying to slow down the wheels of justice? Said Julius: 'guys- 'while I slip off to ZIm for more scallywag behaviour, you take care of business here and make sure my docket berns, shap'.
